The Stargate’s Visual Effect Is Created By An Air Cannon
According to the 1994 documentaryThe Making of Stargatethe ocular effect squad from theStargatemovie created the “ kawoosh ” by set aside an air carom – a gimmick that use constrict air to launch a transportation system gadget – one inch above the control surface of the water . The team fired off the air , causing the piss to propel outwardin the memorable manner see in theStargatefilm .
Due to the difficulty of creating this effect , the film only ever shows the “ kawoosh ” from a single slant . However , the squad responsible for for Stargate SG-1 took on the challenge of record this visual from multiple angles . According to the VFX Supervisor , John Gajdexki , they scramble to get the airwave pressure in good order but finally figured it out through trial and error ( viaThe Companion ) . They did this so perfectly that the imagery became representative of the sci - fi show .
Any Future Stargate Reboot Should Use The Same Visual Effect (Not CGI)
BecauseStargateis a sci - fi show with a cult classic following , anyone bring up it takes an inherent danger . One way to ensure dealership fans enthrone in a novel show is by keeping the same " kawoosh " optic from theStargatemovies and TV show . Though CGI can create incredibly lifelike effect , this visual is so iconic that any change would immediately be noticeable . Because of how they make the visual , it would be incredibly challenging to reduplicate the water supply movement , grain , dark , and lights . It ’d be good to utilize the already existing effect that the VFX team fastidiously create forStargate SG-1 .
Theoretically , they could also essay to make the outcome again using another air cannon and tank of weewee . Even recreating the effect would be risky , though , because there ’s no guarantee that the water would look the same if any variables ( e.g. , volume , breeze pressure , dew point ) changed . On top of the practicality , using the old " kawoosh " would show deep awe for the previousStargateshows .
